Step onto the water's edge where everyday life in a small town connects directly with the starry reaches of eternity.

She encounters sinister detective Vic Lara, handsome zoo curator Roger Chatfield, an exorcist from the Vatican, and a shadowy troop of Air Force psychiatrists. And then there's her violent and dangerous ex-husband, who may be dead in this world, but he's still riding his motorcycle through various other dimensions.
